- The Story of the Birth of SoftNet.
-
- Set your SoftNet Time Viewer for Spring, 1995. As your screen
- slowly clears, you'll see Rod Hancock fadin away into dust. So David
- and Peter thought maybe Rod would be willing to sell Motor City Software
- shareware product line to them. So they started to write Rod messages
- and messages finally in November Rod says YES. He would sell us the
- entire shareware product line and source codes.
-
- While Peter continues to talk to Rod. You see David off trying
- to get a beta team togather. Rod decides on a price. So David
- and Peter comes up with the money. You now see Rod putting up
- the software so Peter can start to get it.
-
- Fade in a short time later. David and Peter has the source
- and they are going at it to change over the source to SoftNet.
- SoftNet is borned.
-
- So now SoftNet need's Registration site; so we started to
- looking around. Peter Janssens was a reg. site for Motor City
- so we started to talk to him and he agrees right away. But
- still need someone in the United States and other countries.
- We find Jim Smoot in the wing with his other products. So we
- started to talk to Jim. It doesn't take long for Jim to realize
- what a great chance for him to add a Great new line of doors
- and utilities...
-
- Fade in. Peter and David are hard at work with all the code
- and the beta team is hard at work going though the program with
- fine tooth comb. Many advancement are being made with the code
- but there is not enough time for just 2 programmers to complete
- all of the projects. When a long comes a programmer that David
- and Peter has had some dealing in the past. Randell Baker is
- talking to David on the phone and wants to know if he could
- program for SoftNet. So after a little time of talking there all
- agree on the terms. So Now SoftNet has an other programmer on board.
-
- Another Fade in. Ozz Nixon appears from his internet server
- (hotblast.com) to jump at the chance to code on the SoftNet
- team with any help he can. Ozz is a member of Info System Technology,
- Inc's Programming team, which is a parent corp of SoftNet.
-
- Our SoftNet Time Viewer brings us back to the present to finds
- SoftNet team still dedicated to producing the best software possible.
- Often projects begin as small utilities to handle a specific problem,
- but blossom under the talented hands of the programming team. As the
- reputation of SoftNet Software grows so does it basic needs.
-

- concept and provides users like you with the highest quality game and
